Frequently asked questions
How many cadet colleges are there in Pakistan?
This directory covers 83 cadet and military colleges across every province — each with its own pattern page and free preparation. The by-province hubs (/colleges/punjab, /colleges/kpk and the rest) group the same list regionally. New colleges open in some years, so the count reflects what this platform covers today; each college's own notice is the final word on its admissions.
Which cadet college admissions are open right now?
Windows open at different times — most colleges register between December and January for the August session. Our registration-deadlines page tracks the 2027 season window by college, and each college's own admission notice is always the final word on its dates.
Which class should I target for cadet college entry?
Class 8 is the main national gate — CCH Hasanabdal, PAF College Sargodha, Kohat and MCJ all induct there — with Class 7 as the earlier, less contested gate at colleges like Petaro. One preparation covers both: the free Class-7 and Class-8 model papers on this site are written for exactly those two gates.
How do I choose the right cadet college?
Shortlist by entry class, distance from home, and the subjects your child is strongest in — the written pattern overlaps so heavily across colleges that one preparation serves nearly every target. Take the free diagnostic to see where the hours should go, then read the target college's own page here for its pattern.
